How to level down as a Junior Engineer:

  1. Start with the kool-aid: Read Hackers and Painters.
  2. Appeal to your fragile ego: Read The Bipolar Lisp Programmer.
  3. Learn actually interesting stuff: Read On Lisp, PAIP, Lisp in Small Pieces,
     The * Schemer series.
  4. Implement your own Scheme. With the help of your dog.
  5. Further down the rabbit hole: Read SICP.
  6. Unlearn Java, JS and PHP. Reject job offers containing such keywords.
  7. Engage in CL vs Scheme internet flame wars.
  8. Spend the most of your fertile years trying to find the perfect Emacs
     configuration (spoiler: it doesn’t exist).
  9. When the choice arises: Choose to learn Shen instead of Clojure due to the
     latter being too impure for you.

Congratulations! You are now unhireable. Not that you would like a job anyway.
